Step 1
Pound each chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness between plastic wrap using a meat mallet.
Step 2
Season both sides with salt and pepper. Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Spread flour in another bowl.
Step 3
Coat each cutlet in flour, shake off excess, then dip in egg and coat both sides.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

Sear chicken 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Slice mushrooms and mince onion. Add to the same skillet with a pinch of salt, sauté for 4 minutes.
